Such arrogant words made Duan Ya's lips twitch, and he retorted irritably, "Can't you stop bragging?"
Lin Mo shook his head, "No, it would be very uncomfortable."
Chapter 210 This time, the blame... is on me!
"No, it would be very uncomfortable."
"..."
Duan Ya's face gradually darkened. "You brat, are you deliberately making fun of your master?"
"Don't dare."
Although Lin Mo said he wouldn't dare, the smile on his face betrayed him.
Seeing this, Duanya glared and said, "Fine, then let's have a practical lesson later!"
Lin Mo's expression changed drastically, and he shook his head like a rattle drum, "No, no!"
He had argued with Duanya before when he was practicing swordsmanship.
That time, the cliff gave him his first practical lesson.
It was called a practical training course, but it was really just getting beaten up. The most important thing was that after the beating, there were no visible injuries on his body, and it was incredibly painful.
After that incident, it took Lin Mo several days to recover.
Practical training?
You absolutely cannot come here!
"Look how scared you are! You're so spineless!"
Duan Ya was not surprised by Lin Mo's reaction and took the opportunity to mock him, saying, "As a man, you can never admit that you are incapable."
Lin Mo smirked, "Master, I can't beat you anyway, you're just bullying me."
"That's right, I'm just bullying you."
Duan Ya made no attempt to hide his feelings, saying, "Back when I was learning martial arts, I got beaten up a lot; now that I'm finally the master, I naturally want to get revenge for all the beatings I took back then."
"That doesn't make sense. I didn't hit you, so why did you hit me?"
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Duan Ya retorted irritably, "Nonsense, my master is gone, who else would I beat up if not you?"
"I……"
Lin Mo's face was filled with utter despair.
This absurd logic left him speechless...
Left with no other choice, he had to steer the conversation back on track. “Master, what I just said was all true. I didn’t mean to brag.”
Seeing that Duan Ya still looked unconvinced, he quickly explained, "Xiao Yu'er and I have excellent academic records, really excellent; if you don't believe me, you can ask my mom to confirm."
Such confident words made Duan Ya narrow his eyes. "You and An Ya both have excellent grades?"
"Correct!"
"You can easily get into Tsinghua University?"
"Correct!"
Hearing Lin Mo's affirmative answer, Duan Ya's thoughts began to stir, and he pondered, "Then are you confident in entering the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings?"
Lin Mo asked in surprise, "Why is Master asking this?"
"Just answer."
The cliff didn't explain much.
Lin Mo coughed lightly, "To be honest, Xiaoyuer and I were originally planning to compete for the Dragon and Phoenix Rankings."
Upon hearing this, Duan Ya's eyes lit up instantly, and he continued to ask, "Where do you and An Yatou think you and you will rank?"
Lin Mo rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless. "Master, the exam hasn't even started yet. I'm not a fortune teller, how would I know what rank I'll get?"
Duanya gave an awkward smile.
Lin Mo sensed something was off and moved closer to the cliff. "Master, why are you suddenly concerned about this?"
"The Dragon Ranking and Phoenix Ranking are not as simple as they seem. The Phoenix Ranking is alright, but the most important one is the Dragon Ranking, which hides great opportunities. If you can enter the top three of the Dragon Ranking, you will definitely be able to enter that place!"
"that place?"
Lin Mo looked puzzled. "Which place?"
"That's the place."
"..."
Lin Mo wisely refrained from pursuing the matter further and asked, "Master, what did you mean when you said the Phoenix Ranking was alright?"
"you guess."
"I……"
Upon seeing Duan Ya's attitude, Lin Mo stated directly, "Master, I won't mince words with you. I'm not confident I can compete for first place on the Dragon Ranking, but I'm sure I'll be number one on the Phoenix Ranking!"
His confident tone made Duan Ya's expression extremely interesting. "Number one on the Phoenix Ranking? Absolutely? Do you even know what you're saying?"
"know."
Lin Mo remained calm and said, "The Ministry of Education recently released the number of test takers this year, which is about 12 million. Girls account for 46%, so there are only about 5.5 million girls. Is it really that difficult to get first place among 5.5 million people?"
cliff:"……"
Is it difficult to get first place out of 5.5 million people?
How could this kid ask such an outrageous question without batting an eye?
"you you……"
"Master, I'm going upstairs to eat now."
Seeing that he couldn't get any results, Lin Mo waved helplessly and turned to leave.
Duan Ya was so angry his nose was crooked. He sat there for a long time, "Absolutely number one on the Phoenix Ranking? What a pity, compared to the Dragon Ranking, the Phoenix Ranking's resources are still too poor..."
……
When Lin Mo walked into the restaurant, he thought he was hallucinating and couldn't help but rub his eyes.
At the kitchen counter, An Youyu, wearing an apron, skillfully fries eggs.
Lin Shu watched intently from the side.
"Auntie, eggs cook quickly, so don't fry them for too long, thirty seconds is enough."
As she spoke, An Youyu used a spatula to scoop out the fried eggs, cutely spreading her hands out. "Look, this is it. Why don't you give it a try?"
Lin Shu looked down at the eggs the girl had just fried, then glanced at the eggs she had fried herself.
One was fragrant and golden brown, the other was pitch black.
Without comparison, there is no harm...
That was absolutely right!
Lin Shu was somewhat tempted by the girl's invitation, and tentatively blinked, "Then... let me try?"
"Ah."
An Youyu took off her apron and thoughtfully put it on Lin Shu.
Lin Mo quietly approached the two of them, looking on with an expression of anticipation.
He had taught his mother how to make this fried egg more than once, but the results of his teaching were, to put it mildly, disappointing.
Turn on the fire, pour in the oil, crack the eggs...
Lin Shu went through these steps very smoothly, but then an embarrassing moment occurred. Because she was so eager to show off in front of An Youyu, she poured the eggs into the pan before it was even hot, causing them to stick to the pan.
"This... was an accident, purely an accident..."
Lin Shu looked at the eggs that were burnt at the bottom of the pot, her expression one of extreme embarrassment.
An Youyu pursed her lips and softly comforted her, "It's okay. Failure is the mother of success. Try again. I believe Auntie can definitely succeed."
A few minutes later.
An Youyu stared strangely at the plate full of fried eggs on her left, the shape of which was simply... unsightly. She took a few deep breaths and suggested in a low voice, "Auntie, should we just forget about it?"
"cough--"
Lin Shu turned off the heat, scooped out yet another failed attempt from the pot, and forced a smile, saying, "These eggs won't do."
"The egg won't work?"
Upon hearing this far-fetched and abstract reason, An Youyu's mouth dropped open, her expression quite interesting.
After watching the show for a few minutes, Lin Mo couldn't hold back any longer. His smile caught the attention of the two women in front of the kitchen counter.
An Youyu pursed her lips, "Just now... I was teaching Auntie how to fry eggs, but maybe my skills aren't good enough, I didn't teach her well..."
The girl's words only made Lin Mo laugh even louder.
Lin Shu's face stiffened. "Xiao Mo, what are you laughing at?"
Lin Mo stopped laughing. "Mom, last time it was the pot that was faulty, this time it's the eggs, so what about next time?"
"you……"
Lin Shu blushed, rolled up his sleeves, and threatened, "If you dare to tease me again, believe me, I'll beat you up?"
Lin Mo waved his hand with a smile, "Mom, your son is an adult now. Don't beat me all the time. Besides, can't you give me some face in front of Xiaoyuer?"
"I'm giving you face, and you think you're all that!"
"But my son didn't say anything just now. He just told the truth. How can that be considered teasing?"
Faced with her son's question, Lin Shu was speechless for a moment. She crossed her arms angrily and reluctantly admitted, "The pot is fine, the eggs are fine, but I'm not. Is that alright?"
After saying that, she looked at the pot on the stove with a rather frustrated expression. "It's so strange, why can't I fry an egg properly? Maybe there's something wrong with this pot!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo and An Youyu exchanged a knowing glance, both able to clearly see the smile in each other's eyes.
